Time marches on. First we had Fox News. No checking of statements or facts. Just say whatever works for the Right wing and it will be accepted as gospel.

Then comes along PolitiFact. It's a fact checking group who's mission is to take apart widely circulated stories and do some fact checking on them. The stories are rated on their veracity. That started to keep some of the more outrageous claims to a limit -- or at least allowed for a tamping down of the total fabrications. But even the results of the PolitiFact findings were often called into question -- just ask Rachel Maddow.

Now, born November 1st, just a few days ago is PunditFact, a site dedicated to checking claims by pundits, columnists, bloggers and the hosts and guests of talk shows.

According to the source itself, PolitiFact.com:

PunditFact is a partnership of PolitiFact and the Poynter Institute, the journalism school that owns the Tampa Bay Times.

The new site will have a dedicated staff of journalists who will research claims by media figures and rate them using PolitiFact’s Truth-O-Meter. The fact-checks will be published on PunditFact.com and will often be featured on the main PolitiFact site.

This could be interesting.

Soon those nattering nabobs of negativism, the jabbering ninnies of the networks will be encouraged to do more than just read the stories handed to them. They might have to actually start listening the the balderdash that comes out of their echo chambers. These pundits will be held to veracity levels that heretofore escaped them -- just like the hot air most expel with each eye-rolled sigh and statement they made courtesy of their teleprompters.

Will it matter? Will it change anything? Probably not, but it will be fodder for more criticism and conjecture.

How truthful is O'Reilly? Chris Wallace? Joe Scarborough and Sean Hannity? Well, if PolitiFact is any guideline as to the accuracy of facts and verisimilitude of PunditFact itself, Rachel Maddow will most likely nail it as she had done in the past. They ought to be sued for their own lack of fact checking.

While it remains to be seen who the most trusted name in news will be, the act of rating talking heads promises to be a fun one. Now if we can just hook up these people to get a large, non-lethal jolt of electricity every time they lie, we'd have a lot more fun with this. If we turn up the juice, we might even have ourselves a Hunger Games of News -- and around election time, won't that be fun?

Dare you witness rant and rave, poetry and rhyme? What do you get when you join logic and memory with music and lyrical thoughts? When time is framed into perspective and ambition placed into our dreams -- six minutes.

Six minutes of context, hope and light-- darkness, fear and burning hell. Pain meshes with joy in a spiritual, lithe-meets-blithe experience.

Curious? Six minutes.

Humor sears discomfort, life-lessons enjoin thoughts, ambition is revealed through testament -- an experience of poetry in motion. Arrogance, hubris with a dash of humility. Six minutes.

Step not into the TWILIGHT ZONE, but into a much greater, personal place-- your "me" zone, brought to you by "them": Shane Koyczan and Hannah Epperson.

Can you spare six minutes? Six short minutes that will stimulate and amaze? You'll visit places long forgotten and aspire to go to places long dreamed. The trip is light and colors, with a dash of darkness to keep you on your toes.

Dare you carve six minutes of your life to be amazed? Don your technicolor dream coat.
